Italy Wins on Terror This Time

Ironic on a day to commemorate the genocide of Armenians by the Turks
The Italian police against Radical Islam were hard at work

Rounding up 18 suspected terrorists seeking to attack the Vatican and the Pope

Christians in the view of Radical Islam do not have a right to live, their existence a forlorn hope
A just revenge for the Crusades that put many a Muslim to the sword
A fanatical mindset the civilized world can ill afford
Something is fundamentally wrong when a religion uses acts over 800 years ago
To any sense of tolerance of other faiths completely forego
Italy is just 450 miles from the chaos in Libya of radical Islam that Egypt is trying to resist
A two or three day easy boat ride across the Mediterranean Sea
Islamic terrorists from Libya into the population would quickly blend before heading up to the Holy See
No wonder the Italians are concerned and must fear suicide bombers in St. Peter’s Square
A papal mass interrupted by suicide bombers as the Pope leads the faithful in prayers
The shock and horror would be beyond compare
Isis would catapult to clear number one bragging rights in the world of terror
The news was sketchy on whether those arrested were foreign born
Or native Italians who their mother land have scorned
Only that another terrorist plot has been nipped in the bud
Not the last plot from the fanatics willing to kill innocents in cold blood
